SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action provides information that 

is directed to the public in general. 

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document lists the statements of 

findings made by EPA after review of 

submissions under TSCA section 5(a) 

that certain new chemical substances or 

significant new uses are not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment. This 

document presents statements of 

findings made by EPA during the 

reporting period. 

C. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to 

review a submission under TSCA 

section 5(a) and make one of several 

specific findings pertaining to whether 

the substance may present unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment. Among those potential 

findings is that the chemical substance 

or significant new use is not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment per TSCA 

section 5(a)(3)(C). 

TSCA section 5(g) requires EPA to 

publish in the Federal Register a 

statement of its findings after its review 

of a submission under TSCA section 

5(a) when EPA makes a finding that a 

new chemical substance or significant 

new use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to PMNs, MCANs, and SNUNs 

submitted to EPA under TSCA section 

5. 

Anyone who plans to manufacture 

(which includes import) a new chemical 

substance for a non-exempt commercial 

purpose and any manufacturer or 

processor wishing to engage in a use of 

a chemical substance designated by EPA 

as a significant new use must submit a 

notice to EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture of the new 

chemical substance or before engaging 

in the significant new use. 

The submitter of a notice to EPA for 

which EPA has made a finding of ‘‘not 

likely to present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment’’ 

may commence manufacture of the 

chemical substance or manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

notwithstanding any remaining portion 

of the applicable review period. 

D. Does this action have any 

incremental economic impacts or 

paperwork burdens? 

No. 

II. Statements of Findings Under TSCA 

Section 5(a)(3)(C) 

In this unit, EPA provides the 

following information (to the extent that 

such information is not claimed as 

Confidential Business Information 

(CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and 

SNUNs for which, during this period, 

EPA has made findings under TSCA 

section 5(a)(3)(C) that the new chemical 

substances or significant new uses are 

not likely to present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment:

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[FR ID: 185258] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communication 

Commission (FCC or Commission, or 

the Agency) proposes to modify an 

existing system of records, FCC/OMD– 

25, Financial Operations Information 

System (FOIS), subject to the Privacy 

Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) as amended. 

This action is necessary to meet the 

requirements of the Privacy Act to 

publish in the Federal Register notice of 

the existence and character of records 

maintained by the agency. The records 

in this system pertain to the mission 

and activities of the FCC’s Financial 

Operations (FO) organization in the 

Office of Managing Director (OMD), 

which are associated with the 

Commission’s financial and budgetary 

operations, programs, activities, and 

transactions. This modification makes 

various necessary changes and updates, 

including slightly renaming the system 

to reflect the fact that the system of 

records covers multiple systems and 

applications, clerical and clarity edits, 

formatting changes required by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Circular A–108 since its previous 

publication, the addition of one new 

routine use, the deletion of two routine 

uses, and the revision of multiple 

existing routine uses. 

DATES: This modified system of records 

will become effective on November 22, 

2023. Written comments on the routine 

uses are due by December 22, 2023. The 

routine uses in this action will become 

effective on December 22, 2023 unless 

comments are received that require a 

contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to 

Katherine C. Clark, Attorney-Advisor, 

Office of General Counsel, Federal 

Communications Commission, 45 L 

Street NE, Washington, DC 20554, or to 

privacy@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Katherine C. Clark, (202) 418–1773, or 

privacy@fcc.gov (and to obtain a copy of 

the Narrative Statement and the 

Supplementary Document, which 

includes details of the modifications to 

this system of records).

81412 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 22, 2023 / Notices 

1The FO specifically maintains the FCC’s 

Registration Number (FRN) system, the 

Commission-wide method for identifying and 

interacting with those individuals who have 

registered to do business with the FCC under 31 

U.S.C. 7701(c)(2) and who incur application and/or 

regulatory fee obligations. An FRN collaterally 

allows that monies paid are properly matched with 

debts and obligations. 

(e)(11), this document sets forth notice 

of the proposed modification of a 

system of records maintained by the 

FCC. The FCC previously provided 

notice of the system of records FCC/ 

OMD–25, Financial Operations 

Information System (FOIS), by 

publication in the Federal Register on 

October 6, 2016 (81 FR 69522). This 

notice serves to update and modify 

FCC/OMD–25 as a result of various 

necessary changes and updates. The 

substantive changes and modifications 

to the previously published version of 

the FCC/OMD–25 system of records 

include: 

1. Updating the name of the system of 

records to Financial Operations 

Information Systems (FOIS), to reflect 

that this system of records covers 

multiple systems and applications; 

2. Updating the language in the 

Security Classification to follow OMB 

guidance; 

3. Updating the Purposes section for 

clarity and to reflect modernization of 

the CORES system to incorporate 

functionalities that were previously 

provided through separate systems and 

forms; 

4. Modifying the language in the 

Categories of Individuals and Categories 

of Records to be consistent with the 

language and phrasing now used in FCC 

SORNs; 

5. Deleting two routine uses (listed by 

former routine use number): (7) ‘‘Do Not 

Pay’’ System, which has been 

consolidated into modified Routine Use 

(6) Financial Obligations Under the Debt 

Collection Acts; and (4) Audits and 

Oversight, for which disclosures are 

covered under another exception to the 

Privacy Act; 

6. Updating and/or revising language 

in the following routine uses (listed by 

the routine use number provided in this 

notice): (1) Public Access; (2) Drug 

Debarment List; (5) Financial 

Obligations Under the Debt Collection 

Acts and Do Not Pay; (6) Financial 

Obligations as Required by the National 

Finance Center (USDA), et al.; (7) 

Litigation and (8) Adjudication 

(formerly a single routine use); (9) Law 

Enforcement and Investigation; (10) 

Congressional Inquiries; (11) 

Government-wide Program Management 

and Oversight; (18) Statistical/ 

Analytical Studies; (19) Breach 

Notification, the revision of which is as 

required by OMB Memorandum No. M– 

17–12; and (21) Non-Federal Personnel; 

7. Adding one new routine use: (20) 

Assistance to Federal Agencies and 

Entities Related to Breaches, the 

addition of which is required by OMB 

Memorandum No. M–17–12; and 

8. Updating the existing records 

retention and disposal schedule with a 

new records schedule: N1–173–00–001, 

Commission Registration System 

(CORES). 

The system of records is also revised 

for clarity and updated to reflect various 

administrative changes related to the 

system managers and system addresses; 

policies and practices for storage and 

retrieval of the information; 

administrative, technical, and physical 

safeguards; and updated notification, 

records access, and contesting records 

procedures.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE

SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS AND

THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES: 

In addition to those disclosures 

generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 

552a(b) of the Privacy Act, all or a 

portion of the records or information 

contained in this system may be 

disclosed to authorized entities, as is 

determined to be relevant and 

necessary, outside the FCC as a routine 

use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3). In 

each of these cases, however, the FCC 

will determine whether disclosure of 

the records is compatible with the 

purpose(s) for which the records were 

collected: 

1. Public Access—FCC Registration 

Numbers (FRNs) and certain 

information (excluding security/ 

sensitive information) provided by 

individuals and representatives who 

register to do business with the 

Commission by obtaining an FRN are 

routinely made public. Individuals who 

have so registered also can use the 

Commission’s automated reporting tools 

to access their own nonpublic 

information, which includes but is not 

limited to Regulatory Fees, fines, 

forfeitures, penalties, Debt Collection 

Improvement Act and other 

administrative changes, and related 

payments and assessments, and to 

determine the amount(s) owed. 

2. Drug Debarment List—Records 

from CORES may be matched against 

the Department of Justice Drug 

Debarment List, and any results (not 

including the DOJ ID Number) and any 

correspondence with the applicant 

regarding this match will be associated 

with the FCC applicant for a license or 

authorization or recipient of FCC funds, 

and thus, be made routinely available 

(with redactions for date of birth and 

Social Security Number) for public 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
81414 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 224 / Wednesday, November 22, 2023 / Notices 

inspection as part of the applicant’s or 

recipient’s file within the relevant FCC 

system. 

3. ‘‘Pay.gov’’ System—To disclose the 

name and address of individuals to the 

Department of the Treasury to facilitate 

the collection of any fees owed to the 

FCC when an individual chooses to pay 

online using the Treasury’s Pay.gov 

system. 

4. Compliance with Welfare Reform 

Requirements—Names, Social Security 

Numbers, home addresses, dates of 

birth, dates of hire, quarterly earnings, 

employer identifying information, and 

State of hire of employees may be 

disclosed to the Office of Child Support 

Enforcement, Administration for 

Children and Families, Department of 

Health and Human Services for the 

purposes of locating individuals to 

establish paternity, establishing and 

modifying orders of child support, 

identifying sources of income, and for 

other child support enforcement actions 

as required by the Personal 

Responsibility and Work Opportunity 

Reconciliation Act. 

5. Financial Obligations Under the 

Debt Collection Acts and ‘‘Do Not 

Pay’’—To other Federal agencies 

(including the Treasury Department, 

Bureau of Public Debt, and its 

authorized contractors) for the purpose 

of collecting and reporting on 

delinquent debts as authorized by the 

Debt Collection Improvement Act of 

1996, as amended, and to prevent 

improper payment and to verify 

payment eligibility using Treasury’s ‘‘Do 

Not Pay’’ (DNP) system and effecting 

payments. Records may also be 

disclosed to the Treasury Department 

and its contractors, pursuant to a DNP 

computer matching agreement between 

the FCC and Treasury for purposes 

authorized by 31 U.S.C. 3321, if the 

matching program requires data from 

this system of records, and to the 

Treasury Department and the 

Department of Justice, and their 

representatives and contractors, to 

report the results of debt collection or 

debt compromise to prepare necessary 

Federal, State, or local income and tax 

reporting records and reports (e.g., IRS 

Form 1099). A record from this system 

also may be disclosed to any Federal, 

State, Tribal, or local agency to conduct 

an authorized computer matching 

program to identify and locate 

individuals who are delinquent in their 

repayment of certain debts owed to the 

U.S. Government. A record from this 

system may be used to prepare 

information on items included, but not 

limited to, income assessments required 

for taxation or other purposes to be 

disclosed to Federal (i.e., IRS), State, 

and local governments. 

6. Financial Obligations as Required 

by the National Finance Center (USDA), 

et al.—To the National Finance Center 

(the FCC’s authorized payroll office), the 

Department of the Treasury Debt 

Management Services, and/or a current 

employer for financial obligations that 

include, but are not limited to those that 

effect a salary, IRS tax refund, tax or 

other debt liabilities of State, 

Municipality or other government 

agencies and entities, or administrative 

offsets necessary to satisfy an 

indebtedness; and to Federal agencies to 

identify and locate former employees for 

the purposes of collecting such 

indebtedness, including through 

administrative, salary, or tax refund 

offsets. Identifying and locating former 

employees, and the subsequent referral 

to such agencies for offset purposes, 

may be accomplished through 

authorized computer matching 

programs, following procedures 

required by the Debt Collection Act of 

1982, the Debt Collection Improvement 

Act of 1996, and the computer matching 

provisions of the Privacy Act. 

7. Litigation—To disclose records to 

DOJ when: (a) the FCC or any 

component thereof; (b) any employee of 

the FCC in his or her official capacity; 

(c) any employee of the FCC in his or 

her individual capacity where the DOJ 

or the FCC has agreed to represent the 

employee; or (d) the United States 

Government is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation, and by 

careful review, the FCC determines that 

the records are both relevant and 

necessary to the litigation, and the use 

of such records by the DOJ is for a 

purpose that is compatible with the 

purpose for which the FCC collected the 

records. 

8. Adjudication—To disclose records 

in a proceeding before a court or 

adjudicative body, when: (a) the FCC or 

any component thereof; or (b) any 

employee of the FCC in his or her 

official capacity; or (c) any employee of 

the FCC in his or her individual 

capacity; or (d) the United States 

Government, is a party to litigation or 

has an interest in such litigation, and by 

careful review, the FCC determines that 

the records are both relevant and 

necessary to the litigation, and that the 

use of such records is for a purpose that 

is compatible with the purpose for 

which the agency collected the records. 

9. Law Enforcement and 

Investigation—Where the FCC becomes 

aware of an indication of a violation or 

potential violation of civil or criminal 

law, rule, regulation, or order to disclose 

pertinent information to appropriate 

Federal, State, Tribal, local, 

international, or multinational agencies, 

or a component of such an agency, 

responsible for investigating, 

prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing 

a statute, rule, regulation, or order. 

10. Congressional Inquiries—To 

provide information to a Congressional 

office from the record of an individual 

in response to an inquiry from that
